High School Graduation Poems
The authors of the following high school graduation poems are unknown, but the anonymity of them doesn't take away from their inspirational voice.
Anyway
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable
Be frank and honest anyway.
People favor underdogs but will follow only top dogs.
Fight for some underdogs anyway.
People may need help, but may attack you if you help them.
Help people anyway.
What you spend your years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build away.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.
Give the world the best you have anyway.—Author Unknown
Do You Remember
Do you remember way last fall
When we were only this tall
Now look at us
We're way up here
And my we've learned a lot this year
In fact they think we're really great
That's why we get to graduate.--Author Unknown
Dream Big
If there were ever a time to dare,
To make a difference
To embark on something worth doing
It is now.
Not for any grand cause, necessarily –
But for something that tugs at your hear
Something that is worth your aspiration
Something that is your dream.
You owe it to yourself
To make your days count.
Have fun. Dig deep. Stretch.
Dream big.
Know, though,
That things worth doing
Seldom come easy,
There will be times when you want to
Turn around
Pack it up and call it quits
Those times tell you
That you are pushing yourself
And that you are not afraid to learn by trying.
Persist.
Because with an idea,
Determination and the right tools,
You can do great things.
Let your instincts, your intellect
And let your heart guide you.
Trust.
Believe in the incredible power
Of the human mind
Of doing something that makes a difference
Of working hard
Of laughing and hoping
Of lasting friends
Of all the things that will cross your path
Next year
The start of something new
Brings the hope of something great.
Anything is possible
There is only one you
And you will pass this way but once.
Do it right.—Author Unknown
God Made Teachers
God understood our thirst for
Knowledge, and our need to be led
By someone wiser;
He needed a heart of compassion,
Of encouragement, and patience;
Someone who would accept
The challenge regardless of the
Opposition;
Someone who could see potential
And believe in the best in others . . .
So He made Teachers.—Author Unknown
Graduation Wishes
For every ending
there's a new beginning; for every memory,
there's a dream ahead. The happy times you've had so far,
The people you have met Will always be a part of life
You'll never quite forget... But ever better, brighter days
Are waiting just for you, So dream your dreams...
and start in now To make them all come true!—Author Unknown
The Future Lies Before You
The future lies before you
Like a field of driven snow,
Be careful how you tread it,
For every step will show.—Author Unknown
I Hope
I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles,
to the highest of your hopes,
to the windows of your opportunities,
and to the most special places your heart has ever known.—Author Unknown
